About this Small Flowering Jaboticaba Bonsai, 10 Years Old (Plinia cauliflora)

The Jaboticaba, said as five syllables exactly as it is spelled, comes from southern Brazil and belongs to the myrtle family alongside its relative the guava. The epithet cauliflora describes an unusual habit: flowers and fruit are borne directly on the trunk and the older branches rather than at the shoot tips, and in season the bark is studded with clusters of small white flowers. This example is 10 years old and 12 to 13 inches tall, grown as an indoor tree. Warmth, humidity and soil kept evenly moist suit it well.

Jaboticaba bonsai care

This is a living Jaboticaba (Plinia cauliflora). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:

Indoor / outdoor: Outdoors in warm seasons/climates; indoor (bright, humid) in cold climates over winter
Light: Bright light to full sun; bright indirect light indoors near a sunny window
Water: Wet-leaning: keep the rootball evenly moist, never bone-dry; loves humidity, but must drain (overwatering rots roots)
USDA zones: 9b to 11 (tender; protect/bring indoors below ~30°F / -1°C)
#1 cause of death: Root rot from overwatering, OR cold/dry-air shock, plus chronic low humidity and chlorosis from hard/alkaline water

Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free Jaboticaba bonsai care guide.
